Hell with it. I've tried: o Red Hat 7.1 Beta o Mandrake 8.0 Beta o FreeBSD 4.2 o FreeBSD 4.1.1 o Red Hat 7.0 o debian, whatever the hell the latest RELEASE is. I give up. I'm going back to Red Hat 6.2. In fact, had RH7.1b not formated my old / I'd pretty much return the damn new harddrive that caused all this in the FIRST place (well, not it's fault, but still). -Yaron --
